A motorized shaving apparatus and head therefor that cuts or trims hair via shearing. In one embodiment, the invention is a shaving apparatus head comprising: a body; a rotary cutter mounted to the body so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis, the rotary cutter comprising cutting edges that collectively define a reference cylinder about the rotational axis; and a blade mounted to the body so as to extend along a first reference plane that intersects the reference cylinder, the blade positioned so that a user's hairs are sheared between a cutting edge of the blade and the cutting edges of the rotary cutter when the rotary cutter is rotating about the rotational axis.

A beard trimmer may include a handle and a cover, as well as a cutting system with one or more vertical axis rotary cutting heads. The rotary cutting heads may have a moving blade and a fixed blade, each head being surrounded by a crown-shaped comb. The comb may be adjustable in height in order to adjust, in use, the distance between the blades and the skin, and thereby to adapt the cutting of the beard to the desired length. The cover is movably mounted between a closed position and an open position on the handle, such that the cover can be moved from an open position to a protection position where it is flush with the comb tines in order to store the device.

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented and can include for instance: crowdsourcing data from a plurality of users via a computer network, the data including feedback data regarding digital rights click through documents, wherein each of the users is a party to at least one of the digital rights click through documents; storing the data obtained by the crowdsourcing into a digital rights history repository; examining a digital rights click through document of a certain user, wherein the digital rights click through document controls access to a digital asset, wherein the examining includes using at least a portion of the feedback data of the digital rights history repository; and augmenting content of the digital rights click through document based on a result of the examining.

A shaving apparatus (1000) is disclosed in which a rotary cutter (1300) and a fixed blade (350) are used to shear a user's hairs therebetween during a shaving process. Various advancements are disclosed herein, including without limitation accurate positioning of the fixed blade in the head (200A) relative to the contact apex of the rotary cutter, bi-directional rotation of the rotary cutter, a cover-blade assembly for detachable coupling and decoupling from a base component of the head, the use of contact rollers on the head to treat and/or prep the skin and/or hairs for shearing, and a rotary cutter configured to pinch, pull and shear hairs.
